The Black Death: The Spread of the Disease In October, 1347, a strange disease entered Europe through a port in Sicily, traveling on the merchant ships from the Eastern Mediterranean. The ships docked long enough for rats, which were carrying infected fleas, to get ashore. As the rats died, the fleas had to find new carriers, many of whom were humans. Within days, hundreds of people were dying each day from the illness. People fled to the countryside, only to spread the disease even further. By November, the island of Sicily had submitted, and by December, the plague had reached the mainland of Italy and much of Southern Europe. This infection was called the Black Death.
